Movie queen Joan Crawford gives a terrific performance in this chiller from pioneer horror movie producer William Castle.
Crawford plays Lucy Harbin, a woman who goes berserk when she finds her husband in bed with another woman. With her three-year-old daughter accidentally witnessing the grisly act, Lucy axes the couple to death. She spends twenty years in a mental institution for the double murder.
After she is released, she moves in with her brother (Leif Erickson), his wife and her own daughter (Diane Baker), now twenty-three. Her nightmare is over...or is it? When a spate of ax murders start occurring suddenly in the neighborhood, police think Lucy has reverted to her old ways. The truth is finally revealed in a rousing, blood-chilling finale.

STRAIGHT JACKET is one of the best William Castle films out on the market.
This is mostly due to the fact that he hired Robert Bloch to pen the
screenplay and it has so many delicious plot twists, you almost forget the
fact that the film has the cheesiest special effects ever seen in a Castle
film (and is that a claim to fame or what?)
Joan Crawford plays Lucy Harbin, a devoted mother and wife who goes a
little cuckoo when she finds her husband in bed with another woman. She
